Creating a Test Out at the beginning of Rise Course

Is there a way to offer a quiz at the beginning of the Rise Course that if the employee scores a certain percentage, the course is considered passed/completed?  If the employee does not pass, the course must be completed in its entirety and the quiz is at the end for the employee to retake.

  • I'm working on some regulatory and compliance courses, and I need the result of the pre-test to enforce the next step. Pass the quiz = course complete. Fail the quiz = take the full course and retake the quiz at the end. As it stands, it looks lovely, but it doesn't enforce anything. Are there any updates on this feature since the last update a few months ago?

  • I'd like to add my vote for this pre test feature. It's something that a lot of our COOs are requesting. Would be great if the pre test could allow a shorter diagnostic test at the beginning to assess knowledge. If passed, course can be marked as completed by our LMS. If diagnostic is failed, learners take the full module and have to complete a much larger assessment at the end. 

  • I'm bumping up the request to add a pre-test feature in Rise. I've been asked to add a pre-test to an existing Rise course I built for my customer and I'm sad to find out I can't do this in Rise. I 100% agree with Cathy's comment above. This feature would be great to have!

      Thank you for the feedback, Michelle and Gabriela!

      The timing of a feature from development to release depends on the feature roadmap. Some features take priority, and others can be quicker to spruce up! Unfortunately, I don't have a specific timeline to share publicly. 

      I've added your comments to our feature request to reflect how many people are interested in this feature. If this makes it on our roadmap, I'll share it in this discussion.

        If this is the way the roadmap is mostly created, then i would suggest to take a look at " microsoft voting for features system" or something similar.

        That way, when you present the feature suggestions to the forum users, we can add a vote with dedicated button.. facilitate sorting etc..

        We would also be able to easily follow the progress/status of the features development.

        See example screenshot.

  • Thanks Lea, 

    Curious how long / how many feature requests need to be received before the feature enhancements are actioned? 

    This issue (and many of the ones my team and I have requested as feature enhancements) could be easily remedied if Articulate would create an online version of Storyline (or a Mac iOS version). Unfortunately, the Windows > Parallels > M1 Macbook is not an option / doesn't work and this may lead us to finding another tool altogether which is a bummer since we've invested time and resources into learning the Articulate suite. 

    Appreciate the follow-up. :)

      Hi Michelle,

      We're still tracking requests for this feature, and we don't have updates at this time. We'll be sure to share it here as soon as we do!

  • Hi Cathy,

    You would need to give the learner multiple retries since they have to come back to the quiz at the end of the course. However, I can understand why you would need the option to limit the retries for the first pass! Ultimately it sounds like you need a pre-test feature, so I'll be sure our team sees your request.

    Is there a way to keep them from trying the quiz over and over if at the beginning?  Since you have to come back to it, you can't set it for no retries.  I tried changing the label from "TAKE AGAIN" TO "PASS-EXIT FAIL-CONTINUE" But it is too confusing and they click continue there and it goes back to the beginning of the test.  Just want a way to give them one try at the beginning, then they must continue to the course, then be able to take the quiz again.

      Kind of an old thread but can you put a quiz at the beginning and the same quiz at the end? The first quiz would have zero retries but the quiz at the end would have unlimited.

        There is a way to include a pretest in Rise. To limit the user to 1 try for the pretest, that would be in a Storyline block. This post has details:

        TIP: Build a Rise Course with a Pretest - Rise 360 Discussions - E-Learning Heroes (articulate.com) 

        Caveats:

        • The course can't use the built-in navigation menu.
        • The program can't tell the LMS if the user passed the pretest or if they went through the content. And it can't tell the LMS the user's score. But it can tell the LMS that the user "completed" the course.

        And, yes, it would be a lot easier, with more options and fewer caveats, if Articulate would add pretest functionality to Rise. Besides "+1"ing that here, folks can submit a feature request here: Help Us Improve Our E-Learning Software by Submitting a Feature Request (articulate.com)

      Unfortunately using the button stack doesnt work.  Learners can go straight to the assessment but if they fail, there is no way of directing them back to the content.
